Right near town - an easy walk. The building and room is a little dated. The spa was ice cold. They don't service the apartment unless you stay 8 days - lots of warnings about charging you if you don't take out the trash yourself. Two threadbare towels doesn't make it for 3 days. I would have asked for more,...

Thanks for sharing your experience, however I am a bit perplexed with the ranking. We offer self catering apartments which have recently been refurbished and are looking great. There are also plans to repaint the rooms and refurbish the bedrooms soon. We do request that guests leave their rooms neat & tidy and advise that a small fee of $30...

For our first trip to Byron Bay my best friend and I stayed at the Eco Beach and we couldnt have been happier with our choice. Our accommodation was conveniently located very close to the beach (ideal for my morning run and our Yoga classes) and each evening we had fresh fruit from the farmers market one block away. We...

We would give 3.5 rating if it was an option. Positives - close to town, helpful staff, nice pool (although small), laundry facility very handy, unit configuration worked for our family of 3, short walk to the beach and town.
Negatives - on main street into Byron so front rooms quite noisy if you are not used to traffic noise,...

Thanks for your comments, it's great to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated the room change. We do our best to accommodate guest requests, however it is not always possible.

My young family and I stayed here for 6 days during January. The rooms were very spacious and clean. We have stayed in Byron on several occasions and this place is as good as any along Shirley Street. The pool is a little on the small side but who goes to Byron to hang in a pool? The dual key...

Lovely apartments. Simple and clean. The walls can be a bit thin and the king was actually two single beds pushed together which meant an occassional uncomfortable sleep position but overall it was lovely. Close to shops and beach.

Enjoyed our stay at break free Eco Byron.
However, we have a 4 month old and were in the top storey appartment block. This meant we had to carry the pram down a flight of stairs to the lift. It made it impossible for me to go out without my husbands assistance with the pram.
To gain access to our...

Thanks for reviewing your stay from a parents point of view. Overall, it appears you enjoyed your stay which is wonderful. We do have some apartments which are difficult to access with a small child and where possible, we put these bookings in ground floor rooms with doors that are easy to access. Most of our apartments are serviced by...

My husband and I spent two nights here after our flight from Sydney.
We had a rental car awaiting us at the airport and had directions to this property.
As Byron Bay is a very 'yuppie' town, it was quite crowded and traffic was heavy, We got lost a couple of times. People were very friendly and helpful.
We arrived...

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights. Sharon (manager) was lovely and hospitable. The room, although a studio, was a good size for the two of us and the king bed was comfortable. There was also a large balcony. Walking distance to everything so you can leave your car in the secure undercover car park. We will definitely stay...
